Wells Fargo Arena Concerts Are Easy When Your Group Rides Together
Rather than splitting your group across a caravan of cars and hunting for a $20 surface lot on Third Street, a concert bus rental to Wells Fargo Arena (730 Third Street, Des Moines, IA 50309) keeps everyone on one plan from Ankeny to the arena floor. Your bus drops the group on Third Street near the south side of the arena and picks everyone up at a pre-arranged spot when the show ends — no fighting post-concert I-35 traffic in separate cars, no waiting on a rideshare that pushed its pickup to the east side of the building. The South Entrance is at 3rd and Center Street, the North Entrance is at 3rd and Crocker Street, and Iowa Events Center parking enters from 3rd Street or 5th Avenue.
Bus parking costs $52, the lots are cashless, and overnight parking is not available. Your bus gets the group to the closest published entrance and avoids leaving anyone to retrieve a vehicle the next morning. Iowa Events Center surface lots run $15–$25 on event nights and fill fast.
One bus, one flat rate, and the ride home is already handled. Confirm current drop-off access on the Iowa Events Center directions and parking page before your show.
Busrentalankeny.com Is the Easiest Way to Get Your Group to Stephens Auditorium in Ames
Busrentalankeny.com is the easiest way to get your Ankeny group up to Stephens Auditorium (1900 Center Drive, Ames, IA 50011) for a show without turning the 35-mile drive up I-35 into a parking headache. Stephens Auditorium drops charter buses at the south entrance on Center Drive, and bus parking is available in Lot 63 off Elwood Drive per Iowa State University Parking guidance. Instead of coordinating five separate cars through Ames campus traffic on a show night, your group loads up together in Ankeny and arrives at the door.
Compare available buses for your date in seconds using the online quote tool, or call 515-329-2910 and a live agent will build a package around your group size and pickup location. Check the Iowa State Center directions and parking page for current lot details before you go!
Forget the Parking Scramble at Vibrant Music Hall — Ride Together Instead
Forget circling the lot at Vibrant Music Hall (2938 Grand Prairie Pkwy, Waukee, IA 50263) on a sold-out Saturday. Parking at Vibrant fills up fast on big show nights, and the surrounding surface lots go quickly once the crowd arrives. A concert bus rental from Ankeny puts your whole group at the door together, without anyone splitting off to find street parking or waiting on a rideshare at the end of the night. Busrentalankeny.com lets you compare minibuses and party buses from a large network of transportation companies serving Ankeny and Clive — so you find the right size for your group, at the right price, for your exact date.
No account needed, and pricing loads in under 30 seconds. Find your bus now!
The main and reserved lots sit on the south and west sides of Vibrant Music Hall and are entered from SE Ashworth Road or SE Esker Ridge Drive off Grand Prairie Parkway; general parking is $15, and the lots typically open two hours before doors. Tailgating and overnight parking are not allowed, so your bus brings everyone to the show without leaving your ride trapped in the lot after the event. The complete route, parking, and venue policy details are on the Vibrant Music Hall plan-your-visit page.
Keeping the Whole Group Together for 80/35 and Des Moines Summer Festivals
Keeping everyone on the same plan for an outdoor festival is a whole lot easier when one bus handles all the pickups. The 80/35 Music Festival at Western Gateway Park (1205 Woodland Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50309) draws big crowds to downtown Des Moines each July, and post-festival street parking and rideshare availability around Woodland Avenue and 12th Street gets chaotic fast. A charter bus or minibus from Ankeny drops your group near the park, stages nearby, and picks everyone up at a set time — no one stranded waiting on a surge-priced app.
Through Busrentalankeny.com, you can compare buses for festival days, multi-day events, and any summer show in the Des Moines area. Enter your date and group size to see what is available!
With a Party Bus, the Concert Starts Before You Even Get There
With a party bus from Ankeny, the night kicks off the moment your group boards — not when you finally find your seats. Party buses available through the network seat 15 to 50 passengers and come loaded with color-changing LED lighting, a full-length built-in bar, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating. Whether you are heading to a late show at Hoyt Sherman Place, a packed night at Val Air Ballroom (301 Ashworth Road, West Des Moines, IA 50265), or a stadium show at Casey’s Center, a party bus keeps the energy high from the first pickup to the last drop-off.
Compare party buses, minibuses, and charter buses from a large network of transportation companies serving Ankeny — and get pricing in under 30 seconds. Call 515-329-2910 to get started today!

Most Ankeny residents head south to Des Moines for major shows — Casey’s Center and Hoyt Sherman Place are both roughly 12 miles down I-35, a 15- to 25-minute drive off-peak. Stephens Auditorium in Ames is about 35 miles north, and Vibrant Music Hall in Clive runs around 18 miles west. A concert bus from Ankeny covers all of these routes and keeps your group together the whole way, without anyone navigating post-show traffic on their own.
Book as early as you can — ideally four to six weeks out for most shows, and three to six months out for major events. The Iowa State Fair grandstand concerts (August 12–22, 2027, at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, 3000 E Grand Ave, Des Moines, IA 50317) and Iowa State Cyclones home football Saturdays in Ames pull heavy demand across the Ankeny area. Prom season in April and May also fills buses fast across Ankeny High School and surrounding districts.
Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher prices and fewer options.
Yes! Multi-stop pickup routes are one of the most common setups booked through the network. Your bus can loop through Ankeny neighborhoods, pick up at a hotel, or add a stop in Johnston or Altoona before heading downtown.
Add roughly 10 minutes per stop when you are planning your departure time. List your stops when you fill out the quote form, or give them to a live agent at 515-329-2910, and the pricing you see will already account for the full route.
It depends on your headcount. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus works well for smaller groups and is easy to maneuver through downtown Des Moines streets around Third Street. Groups of 36 or more are better matched to a 56-passenger charter bus with undercarriage luggage bays and reclining seats.
Want the party atmosphere? A party bus seats 15 to 50 and comes with LED lighting, a built-in bar, and a sound system. Compare all three side by side through Busrentalankeny.com and find the one that fits your group!
Charter buses drop off and pick up along Third Street on the south side of Casey’s Center. Always confirm current access details on the Iowa Events Center directions and parking page before your show, since lot assignments can shift by event.
